When I had a little girl, I never dreamed her favorite toys would include tools, trains and definitely NOT babydolls...but come to think of it, I'm not a big fan of the whole "princess" scene, so I actually enjoy the nonconformity of it all. And you should see how this girl's face lights up at the sight of trains...especially her FAVORITE train toy: Thomas the Tank Engine. My parents got her a Thomas train table for Christmas, and I couldn't even begin to count the number of hours she's stood at that table...completely entertained, completely wrapped up in her imagination, and completely in love with Thomas and all of his engine friends.
So, when the "real" Thomas made a stop in a town not too terribly far from us, of course we had to make the trip! Andra got to meet Thomas face to face and go for a ride in a passenger car pulled by Thomas. They had about every Thomas activity you could dream up, and we sampled a little bit of everything...including the store, of course, where Andra got to pick out a couple things. Yep, we're total suckers.
Here she is clearly tickled to meet her buddy face to face!...she had to wear to Thomas engineer hat all day too!
Taking a ride on Thomas...
So sweet. Please, please don't ever grow up.
